Galignani's Messenger.

A young woman had just been SEN
fenced at st. LornaId to hard labor for
life for the murder of her husband.
farmer named Fourcault, only % years
old, who died after few days illness.
AT the trial it was shown that the farmer
recently summarily dismissed IA young
servant named AllerOn, a boy only -
years old. whom he had found indulging
in familiarities with his wife, and that
the woman had from that hour de
termined on getting rid of her husband.
In the middle of last month Madame
FOurcault bought some arsenic ut a chem
lists in Argentan for the purpose of kill
ing rats, as she said, but she put
half the poison she had bought in her
husbands soup. He ate the soup with
out noticing anything wrong about it.
but soon afterward was taken very ILL.,
and died in great suffering. During her
husbands short illness the woman dis
played the most revolving cynicism. She
had sent for young Alleron. with whom.
as the farmer lay dying, she renewed
her intrigue. After she was arrested
Madame FOurcault made full confes-
sion. but without the slightest emotion
or remOrse. She said that she had tried
to poison her husband on n previous oc-
casion by putting arsenic in his coffee,
but she had abandoned the idea for
the time as she had feared that her vic
tim would notice the appearance of for
eign substance in his coffee.

An Interesting Game of Poker which Best
ed Three Gamblers
Indianapolis Journal
A game long talked about on the river
was that played by George Poindexter,
of Mississippi. At one time he was fund
commissioner. or something of that kind
for Mississippi. He had business in New
York to negotiate money on bonds Os-
tensibly for internal improvements in
Mississippi. He was returning from
that city, and, had a large amount of
money with him. He left Louisville on a
small stern wheel boat, and three gam
blers tOOok passage on the same
boat. They knew Poindexter's fond
ness for cards, that he would play
high, and they made up a
plot to clean him out. In those
days they played poker with twenty
cards-the ace, king, queen, jack and
ten of each suit. The boat was several
days in getting from Louisville to Cairo,
and Poindexter and the three sharks
We're busy at play. Then they usually
played without limit, and the result was

long enough, were about to take him in.
They had all their money on the table.
Two of the gamblers dropped out. and
the other, making heavy bet, piled up
his last dollar. The Governor said he

Very well, said the gambler, ''IIl

Poindexter went to his stateroom.
where he had an old carpet sack with a

to the gaming table, followed by the

A Good Sign.

Baltimore Manufacturer Records
1t is gratifying to note that the wild
speculative fever which for a few weeks
threatened to run into regular .'land
booming" business has somewhat sub
sided, and that business men. instead of
devoting their time and money to real
estate speculative operations, are giving
their attention to the actual development
of the industrial interest of their sec
ton. As we have previously stated,
many of the large land companies Or
ganized in the South during the last few
months have a solid foundation for
present and future prosperity, and
it is through their exertiOns that a
very large proportion of the new enter
prises that are being established there
have been secured. But the great and
well deserved successes of these COM
panieS caused almost a craze for real es-
tate dealings for awhile. This feverish
tendency has abated without having done
any permanent harm; in fact, this specu-
lation did good. 1t attracted outside
capital and advanced the price of real
estate, which was too low throughout
a great part of the South. Having
done this, it has quoted down and
left the people of that section in a proper
frame of mind for more vigorous and
determined effort than ever before in
building up their manufacturing inter
ests. If the real estate speculation had
gone on indefinitely it would have done
harm; as it is, it did good. 1t awakened
the people to the vast possibilities of
their country and stimulated them
to new energy: it permanent
ly lifted the value of property
over large areas. and from these centers
of activity will spread influences that
will make the whole South more pros
porous. OF course, there will come re-
newed speculations at times, but the ten
dency to wild booming has. we believe.
been pretty effectually killed. The
South is now moving steadily and
rapidly on towards a solid and enduring
prosperity, and never before was the out
look SO bright

share of worldly goods, and he proposes
to do the same in Interlachen.
Mr.. Merriam possesses decidedly the
best turnout in town, his fine carriage
being brought with him from Nebraska,
and when hitched behind his span of
spirited horses is able to annihilate time

her sister Jennie, lately promoted.

Why BARRIERS are Usually IrreligiOus.


New York sun.
'sNo," said Jim Morrow's best barber,
as he rubbed handful of lather into
the mouth of Judge Curtis, Il amt SUI
perstitiOus myself, but most BARRIERS are.
Some believe that it S a sign of good luck
to cut the skin of "a mans throat Just
enough to draw blood, and that when a
razor needs resting it's best to lay hone
alongside of it in a drawer over night,
SO that it can sharpen itself: but don't
believe i'm any such nonsense. Between
YOU and l, BARRIERS are laundering igno-
rant. They have lots of chances to get
information from customers, but they
don't get it. They're a quarrelsOme set,
too. They're always fighting about
something. Barbe rs are generally unre-
ligiOus and seldom go to church, but
that is very easily accounted for. Their
customers are of all denominations.
Sometimes when the shop is crowded, a
discussion will begin about the merits of
the respective creeds, and as barber
must agree with them all he doesn't
know which is the best. SO that he doesn't
believe in any. Shall l wash your face
with bay rum, Judge, or water:
What's the difference said the
Judge.
Bay rum is 15c. and water 10c."
Water. Bay rum stings the face"
Yes, sir. I've noticed that myself.
especially with picples. As was about
to say. BARRIERS are generally very liberal
i'm their religious views. I'm that way
myself. All right, Judge. Thank you.

Ireland during the past glorious fifty

Her Avaricious Majesty the Justice to
